Elo:
Website: A website to house and frame the design and function of the student portfolios.

Edmodo: A social media site that will securely function as a meeting place for our members. They can communicate with each other as a whole, or in smaller groups, i.e. freshman, sophmore, junior, senior. Here we can track their progress through polls and remind them of important upcoming dates and milestones through the alert and calendar function.

Wikispaces: Wikispaces can be used in conjunction with the website. Possible place to post pertinent information. Also can function as a road map to the students and the tasks they have to complete.

Goal Tracker: A goal tracking system/software that allows students to visually see where they have reached in their college application process and how much/what they have left.

Simone: Voicethread, Nike +, My Fitness Pal, Google Maps

NIKE PLUS
Nike+ is a real time data management system made for runners. Runners can log into Nike+ from an Iphone or computer to track miles ran, map individual progress over time, compare progress to fellow runners, gain badges, set goals, and be cheered on by the community.

VOICETHREAD (VT)
VT is like Power Point on steroids (pun intended). Users can upload informational slides (video, media, text) adding their own narration to each slide. A user can also give permission to another person to be able to input voice narration on the slides as well.

MY FITNESS PAL (MFP)
My Fitness Pal is a real time diet and excersise journal made for individuals wanting to lose or manage their weight. Users can log into MFP from an app or computer to track the caloric intake of over 7,000 foods, map individual daily, weekly, & monthly progress over time, compare progress to friends that are also using the program, and recieve goal reminder messages.

GOOGLE MAPS
Google Maps makes it easy to answer the question: Where have you been? Well with google maps where you've been is a visual push-pin away. Users can get directions as well as visually see locations where they have visited.

HERE'S THE MASH UP!
